What incredible painting! Every link of the mail looks 100% authentic. the way the light reflects off the leather and the weathering on the wooden shield back are excellent and that shield design is amazing.

About shield... My English isn't well, but I'll try.. I paint the shield in dark red. And draw leo with dark yellow (I used Vallejo Gold Brown). I filled all area of leo with gold brown. After, I depicted all details by thin dark brown lines. As a result we have flat picture. And it's need to make highlights on every small detail. For highlighting I used Vallejo gold yellow, buff and ice yellow. For highlighting on the red vermillion and salmon rose.
